Broadcast in a 60-minute time-slot, it was written by John Cameron and produced in Melbourne.[2] It was part of Wednesday Theatre. PlotAs a result of pressures of running a large business, Henry Williamson finds he has been neglecting his duties to his family, providing unlimited funds instead of a husband and father's guiding hand. His son is lazy and fails his uni exams, his daughter is spoilt and is about to be married to a troublesome man called Bevin, and his wife spends time making metal sculptures. In an attempt to have a better family relationship, he takes them up in a plane to look at a country property he is thinking of buying and winds up on a Pacific island. Williamson insists his family stay there.[3] Cast
ProductionThe play was written exclusively for television. It was the third TV play by John Cameron, who had also written Outpost and The Teeth of Wind. It was described as "a play without a message" and was shot in Melbourne.[4] ReceptionThe TV critic from the Sydney Morning Herald said "the play might have seemed more attractive in its corrective escapism if some of its palm-fringed, moon-visited settings had not been stirred so obviously by a studio breeze; and Oscar Whitbrcad's direction would have released more of the author's latent humour if his cast had been able to supply more than conventionally stiff realisations of conventional characters."[5] See also
